Need a little culture? Check out AMP@620, Studio@620's new monthly showcase of art, music and poetry all in one evening. (Get it? AMP?)

The event is held on the last Monday of every month. The doors open at 8 p.m. for minglers to enjoy music, art and a cash bar. A featured musician or poet performs at 9 p.m. AMP kicked off in September with Tampa spoken word artist Wally B as the headliner. Organizer and host Jason "Jay" Bruzzichesi said about 70 people attended the first event, and he expects an even bigger crowd to stop by for the upcoming lineup:

Bruzzichesi, a 1993 graduate of St. Pete High, organizes and hosts AMP. He and 2000 St. Pete High graduate Brian Duncan also host Resurrection, a spoken word open night event that's held at the Lobby on Central Avenue every Wednesday from 10:30 p.m. to midnight. Poets and musicians are welcome to perform at the free event, which is in its eighth year. Bruzzichesi deejays the showcase under the name DJ Sporaticus.
